In a study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, researchers from National Taiwan University report that a ...

A time crystal as seen under a microscope. A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal crystal repeat in space. Examples ...

We expect crystals to be rigid and brittle, so scientists were shocked when some of their crystals seemed to come alive under a microscope. They hope to use the unusual behavior to make tiny machines ...

Chemists discovered that a seemingly solid, nonporous crystal can 'come alive' when heated. A two-step transformation releases trapped molecules, drives a vivid blue - green - yellow glow, and even ...

Robots and cameras of the future could be made of liquid crystals, thanks to a new discovery that significantly expands the potential of the chemicals already common in computer displays and digital ...
